Why did you choose your screen name?

[AKA4MJ]

For my fellow floaters of GC, you have probably seen this in the Chit-Chat forum. I think it will be a good NEW topic for our board. Lets see...

My new name is simple: My beloved sorority AKA and it is just 4 MJ, my initials...

My old name: OOHLALA is the name of the dance squad for Howard's Band and when I was @ HU I was a part of it. Not to mention that when the fellas see me they say " Ooooh LA LA!"

[affinity8]

Affinity means kinship, a closeness. I just like the word, always have. And number 8 is my favorit number. If you turn it sideways, it is the symbol for infinity.

I remember your other screen name. I used to go to Howard (smile) I thought you girls were da bomb!!! 8-)

[sphinxpoet1]

I chose Sphinxpoet because upon my journey into the land of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity INNNNNCORPORATED! I was the best at poetry, I knew my history in and out and I am also a writer of poetry. So it acknowleged my enterance into Alpha Phi Alpha and my love of writing Poetry.

My best friend of 18 years often said I had a "steel trap" mind when we would reminisce about college or the newspaper we worked on because I remembered the most minute details about things.
So I thought it would work.

I would have taken this to email but you do not have one listed...

So, you were there during our peak year of 95-96 that is when we were the BEST, 96-97 was good too, but it is just not the same since they are not OFFICIAL Ooh La La! dancers.

"AKA"tude...Need I say more?

[112Soul]

My name 112Soul has two meanings:

112 is R&B group I respect because they write their own material (which is very important to me as a writer). Also, each of the members are talented and I saw that as a representation of my many talents.

'da Soul is where I write from. That's probably why you won't hear about me blowing up because I refuse to write on things for money. Also, it is a hope that when people see me (fraternity members or otherwise), they see what is in my soul and not what they want to see.

When hubby and I were on our honeymoon we were in San Franciso for a few days. We went to Alcatraz and they had a gift shop with tee shirts that said Alcatraz Penitentiary and stamped across them was REJECTED...TOO CUTE meaning the wearer of the shirt was too cute to be in Alcatraz.

He said that's YOU!!! You are Too Cute and you think you're Too Cute. (Actually, I know I'm too cute) So the name stuck and it's my AOL screen...TooCute365 (TooCute All Year) TooCute247 was taken.

[Chi_ZETABBW]

All I could think of at the time, but it describes me to a certain degree.
CHI- because I live in Chicago
Zeta- One of the FINER Women of Zeta Phi Beta
BBW- Also a big BLUtiful woman.

[jali0004]

Wow..you guys are really creative! I'm kinda embarassed to share mine now!! I chose jali0004, because it's my user ID at school. I use it as my screen name, because as a freshman, I didn't want to spend a lot of time registering for websites I like. I still use it, because I'll forget anything else...

"Jali" is the first four letters of my last name, and "0004" means that I'm the fourth person to have registered since 1970-something with this prefix.

[kiml122]

Mine is pretty simple, but I like it.
Kim = my first name
L = my first initial of my last name
122 = my b-day which is 1-22.

I have been going by KimL for so long, it seemed just right to use now, and I love my b-day, ane 22 is also my favorite number and is my former jersey# when I played b-ball.

I chose mine because I thought it was pretty and there's nothing more rare and precious than me
